How Breathwork Can Ease Daily Stress and Improve Sleep with Jessica Bryant & Mel Tingey
Welcome back to another episode of the Catching Zzz’s podcast, it’s Jessica Bryant back in the host seat this week.
I’ve previously hosted an episode earlier this season all about music therapy, including the benefits and how it can provide an alternative way to better sleep.
This week I have on Mel Tingey, who is a transformational leadership, personal development coach, and a facilitator in breathwork and sound healing.
During our conversation, we explore how breathwork practices can work as therapy without words, helping us process stress, quiet the mind, and improve the quality of our sleep.
Mel breaks down what breathwork and sound healing mean, dispelling common misconceptions and offering easy, practical ways to incorporate mindful breathing into our daily routine and bedtime rituals.
Whether you’re a seasoned meditator or a complete newbie, you’ll find some tips, like the 90-second box breath that you can try tonight to calm your body and prepare for better sleep. Stay tuned and learn how just a few intentional breaths can make a powerful difference in your nightly wind-down and your overall well-being.
